This certified, 100-percent organic cotton yoyo doll is handmade by fair trade artisans in India. This is the classic yoyo doll made for decades by grandmas, updated for the green community. "It's so difficult and time consuming to make this doll that it can only be made by hand. Yoyo dolls have been childhood favorites for generations," Jenny Krauss, president of Kinderware, told TDmonthly. Launch date: 2009.

The Yoyo Doll, an update on the quilter’s classic, is hand sewn according to fair trade guidelines by artisans in Bolivia. The small doll measures about 9” and the large is 18” tall.— “These dolls are special because they're both vintage and contemporary. The body structure was invented by quilters over 100 years ago, but Kinderware has updated them to be adorable in today's market. They used to be long and skinny with clown heads but we improved their proportions and make elephant, puppy, bear, bunny, baby and kitten versions,” Jenny Krauss of Kinderware told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 2007.
